  • DunedinPACE was developed by modeling within-individual multi-system physiological change across four timepoints in same-age individuals in the Dunedin Study 1972-1973 birth cohort, when participants were aged 26, 32, 38 and 45 yr.

    “DunedinPACE was developed by modeling within-individual multi-system physiological change across four timepoints in same-age individuals in the Dunedin Study 1972–1973 birth cohort60,61, when participants were aged 26, 32, 38 and 45 yr.”

    The Introduction and Methods (pages unavailable) describe modeling changes in multiple physiological systems in the same-age Dunedin 1972–1973 birth cohort at ages 26, 32, 38, and 45. They call the resulting measure the “Pace of Aging,” however; our copy does not say that this paper developed DunedinPACE. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
